Now something for people with smart trainers in ERG mode: What gearing do you use? Does it make any difference?
I've just done a new ramp test and I got a shocking increase. Only explanation is I was in the big ring when I usually use the smaller one (less revolutions, quieter), or maybe I've just got better at it. In no way I'm stronger than last time, I'd say the opposite

How much of an increase and when was the last test?

I normally run in the biggest gear combo that still has a decent chainline. So big ring and kinda mid-block. Should have the least wear/noise in the driveline then.

I went from 290 to 310. Last test was maybe in mid November last year? But I did not enough riding at all
Pretty sure the recommended way was small ring, straight chain. I rarely use the small ring on the road anyways
Also, I'm getting old, so every test I expect a start to a slow but sure decline
